Beauty and The Beast: "If I Can't Love Her" (The Beast)

And in my twisted face

There's not the slightest trace

Of anything that even hints at kindness

And from my tortured shape

No comfort nor escape

I see, but deep within is utter blindness

Helpless, unforgiven

Cold and driven

To this sad conclusion

No beauty could move me

No goodness improve me

No power on earth

If I can't love her

No passion could reach me

No lesson could teach me

How I could have loved her

And make her love me, too

If I can't love her, then who?

Look in my wasted eyes

No chance I could disguise

My empty heart, my overwhelming sadness

And in my sleepless nights

I put my world to right

But every morning it returns to madness

Hopeless as my dream dies

As the time flies

Love, a lost illusion

No pain could be deeper

No life could be cheaper

No point anymore

If I can't love her

No spirit could win me

No hope left within me

Oh, I could have loved her

And that she'd set me free

But it's not to be

If I can't love her

Let the world be done with me!
